Liquid Wind secures funding to produce eMethanol from hydrogen

The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency works on behalf of the Swedish government, conducting and coordinating Sweden's environmental work within Sweden, the EU and internationally. The aim of the initiative ‘Climate Leap’ is to support local and regional investments that reduce emissions of CO₂ and other gases that affect the climate.

FlagshipONE will be connected to Övik Energi's combined heat and power (CHP) plant, Hörneborgsverket, in Örnsköldsvik, in the north of Sweden. The construction process is scheduled to start in the spring of 2022. Once operational, the facility is expected to produce 50 000 t of eMethanol starting in 2024. The new facility will upcycle CO₂ emissions and combine this with green hydrogen, made from renewable electricity and water to produce eMethanol.

“The investment grant shows the strategic importance of eMethanol as a replacement for today's marine fossil fuels. Global shipping currently uses 350 million tpy fossil fuels. Thanks to Climate Leap, Liquid Wind and our partners will be able to accelerate the transition to green fuel and reduce CO₂ emissions with more than 90%”, says Claes Fredriksson, CEO & Founder, Liquid Wind.
